-O course q majority Of our citisens
are opposed to gambling, but there Il
considerable pleasure when you try Il
to know that you are going 10 play .
game that is fair. CliffordJ. Tweedy,
the colored boy who was the lucky
holder Of the one one.tenth Of ticket
rs. S99-the second capital prize Of
e5O,OOO-received about q week ago
his n tenth, or 5000, and our read
ers would perhaps like to know some
thug about this colored boys life, and
how he won the prize, and what he
has done and Intends doing with his
money.
Clifford is a likely colored boy,
about twenty-one or twenty-five years
OF age, and was raised by MIR. Henry
1. Peay. with whom he has been for
the past sixteen years. At the time Of
his drawing the $1,000 prize he was in
the employ Of Mr.. Pesy, getting g
per month. He has rcteined his posi-
ton with Mr.. Peay, and does his work
as faithfully as ever.
After receiving hie Z $1,000 he de-
posted $4,000 in the Georgia Railroad
bank and took &1,OGO and divided a
portion of it amongst his poor colored
relations. Be it to his credit, too, he
did not forget his employer, Mr.. Peay.
to whom he gave a present of $50.
He says with the $4,000 that he has
intends to buy Augusta real estate,
another sign that he has a level head.
In answer to the question how much
he had invested before winning, he re-
replied that he had bought u ticket
regularly every month for the past fif-
teen months, and it was tho fifteenth
dollar that did the work.
